loss of hyperlinks when transforming file into PDF

Post by zibetto »

Hi, exporting file to pdf hyperlinks don't work, browser opens. I'm referring to links to documents, not links to internet addresses.
In the textmaker the links work.
Please help me.

An important clarification. the problem occurs when the folder in which the documents are located is not on the computer's hard disk but in a network location (an external NAS).

I was able to reproduce the issue you described. The original link was \\nas-miesc\files\Downloads\file.pdf
However, the generated PDF added "M|/Downloads/" to the link:
file:///M|/Downloads///nas-miesc/files/Downloads/file.pdf

Solution: select the option PDF Export > Preferences > Use relative paths for file links

Anyway, something doesn't feel right here, so I'm going to report the issue to the developers.
