The point is that this is not an option in Adobe Reader 6. You may have this
option in Acrobat full version, or perhaps even in the Reader versions 7+, but it is not in Reader 6...at least where I can find it. Do you have some other documentation that says this should work in Reader 6? DavidF "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ... Version 6 point what? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "DavidF" wrote in message ... Not there in version 6. DavidF "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ... From the Adobe Reader Help file under Preferences - General Panel - Preferences for viewing PDFs: Create Links From URLs Specifies whether links that weren't created with Acrobat are automatically identified in the PDF document and become clickable links. Now admittedly this is from v8 but it also says the same thing in v7. Perhaps you should check your Reader settings to see whether your settings are not allowing this on your system. It would be terrible to find out that your Reader isn't giving you it's full functionality. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "DavidF" wrote in message ...

Ed,
Thanks for taking the time to test this out. Did you perhaps have the opportunity to test this using Reader 7 or 8? DavidF "Ed Bennett" wrote in message ... JoAnn Paules wrote: Adobe Reader v6.05 (?) "recognizes" email addresses and URLs without any intervention on your part. I've just tested this in all available versions of Reader 6.x. No version did it. (Anyway, I dislike full web addresses in online PDFs anyway - text links (which no PDF reader can add unless they're already there) are the way forward.) -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org |

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. DavidF "Don Schmidt" Don red_1987 wrote in message ... 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 Vancouver, USA "DavidF" wrote in message ... 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.

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

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. If interested, http://www.docu-track.com/ The Tools program is excellent; I use it often to combine PDF files or to rearrange pages in a file. -- Don Vancouver, USA "DavidF" wrote in message ...

I found it this morning. I stand by that procedure. It can be used to
convert a multipage newsletter into an email. If the poster doesn't have Pub 2003, then they need to resort to other software. We can't assume someone does or doesn't have a current version of Publisher when others insist on using older versions of free software. There's just no way to tell if we aren't given all of the facts, is there? -- -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "DavidF" wrote in message ...

I was informed by a fellow MVP that the change was made in the 6.0.5 update.
I'm still trying to find a list of things that were changed in that update but Adobe's site keeps giving me info on v7 or v8.
