Topic: Publish to PDF With Hyperlinks

[M-dub]

I have a drawing that needs to be converted to a PDF with every update.  A vital portion of this drawing is the collection of hyperlinks within.  I can't figure out how to get the hyperlinks to come across in the conversion.

I've seen some stuff on the internet saying "older versions did", "use a different driver"... does anyone in here have any experience with this?

This whole thing is my current workaround related to this post.


Thanks for any input!

or rumored that DWG->>>DWF->>>PDF will work

NOVA PDF writer and others will also include hyperlinks properly...must be set in advanced settings of the plot device

Thanks for the tips.  I'm looking into them right now.

actually bluebeam has some issues regarding where the link was created and IF it will be included in the output or NOT

Something was messed up with your picture like something got on it but I cleaned it up for you.

Well, I tried the Peernet option and unfortunately, it was... (I'll be nice)... not the greatest.
