    xdp6 Links in exported PDF not working

    Is it just not working for me anymore?

    I have a website link and a telephone number at the top of my pages.

    A few months ago I had no issues exporting the PDFs and the links worked fine.

    But now when exporting it the links don't work anymore? Even of the files that exported fine before!

    Is this a bug?

    Help!

    Using the latest version of Designer Pro 15.1 from May 3rd 2018

    When you do the export and select "settings" from the export file dialogue box, try selecting other presets like "Commercial printing" or "High quality". For example, I tried "High quality" with a document where a square was a hyperlink. The resulting PDF allowed me to,, click on the square to follow the hyperlink.

    This is using DPX 15.1

    You may not have a problem with Xara but with the setup of the PDF reader. What are you using to view the PDF with? I use Foxit reader as my main reader and in it, the to follow links are automatically turned off unless I tell it to turn on. Try it with a different reader or can you post the PDF and we can check it?

    Not home right now... But will try the suggestions first.

    If still issues then I will post the file. Not even sure what program I use to view a PDF.

    Thanks,
    Richard

    I too use Foxit and if I hover over any links in my PDFs the link address appears, move away and it disappears. I find this handy for checking that links are present and correct without internet access.

    Thanks for the responses.
