David,

I copied your four links to a Notepad file, created a PDF and the four links
were active.
I then copied your four links to a text box in Publisher 2000 and the four
links were active.

In both tests the links did not produce underlines until I turned on the
underline option in my PDF program. It also has the options to encase the
address in a rectangle.

Just a week or so ago I tried Primopdf ver 3.2 and the links created worked
in a created PDF file.

You may want to review the preferences in your PDF creating program looking
for an option to "analyze links"

For a PDF reader I use PDF-XChange Viewer (no cost), equal to or better than
Adobe Reader 8.1
For a PDF creating program I use PDF-XChange Pro, very good but didn't test
compare with Adobe.

The Tools program is excellent; I use it often to combine PDF files or to
rearrange pages in a file.

Hi Don,

I tested this whole thing originally using an early version of Primopdf,
and
then version 2, and now 3.2 without any luck. I tested the following in a
text box:

http://www.google.com/
http://google.com/
www.google.com
and for an email:


I also inserted a hyperlink in the proper manner by highlighting some text
and inserting the link. The plain text URLs and email address in the text
box did not show an underline as active links on the Publisher page, but
have automatically taken on that formatting in this post. The inserted
hyperlink did show an underline as an active link, and still showed an
underline after PDF production.

After producing the PDF file, I opened it in Adobe Reader 6.0.05. Neither
the text only URLs, the text only email, or the inserted hyperlink
survived
the transition, though the inserted hyperlink was still blue and
underlined.

Please let me know what results you get. Thanks.

Have you got Primopdf version 3.2?

Maybe we are not all on the same page by "hyperlinks".

PDF Readers will pick up on urls and email addresses but not on
hyperlinks
associated with other text and images. (I think)

Don,

Contrary to what Joann continues to spout, if you produce a pdf with
primopdf hyperlinks do not survive the conversion. She just doesn't seem
to accept reality.

You could password protect the PDF file against editing and even
printing if you want.

The above is possible with PDF-XChange and probably with Adobe Acrobat.
I don't know about the popular Primopdf.

Something to explo

Hi,

I have a publisher file that i want to go on the web with Hyperlinks
and
all. I want it to be an Adobe file so that no one can edit it. Is
this
possible or is there a better way of doing this function?
