Hyperlinks on Master Pages

[Pat Bensky]

Using CC2105

I've created a hyperlink to a URL in the footer of a Master Page. But when the document is exported to PDF, those hyperlinks are not active. I'm sure the link is correct ... if I copy it to any page, it is correctly converted to an active link.

Can't you have hyperlinks on master pages?

Thanks!

Pat

Hi Pat,

if you're using print PDF export, did you check Hyperlinks in the options area at the bottom of the general tab?

Of course, you can use hyperlinks on master pages (I'm using them for interactive pdf).

Hi Christophe,

Yes, I did check the Hyperlinks option.

OK so here is what's happening ... When I open the document in Acrobat Pro, and I hover over a hyperlink, instead of getting the little pointing finger cursor I get an edit cursor. I haven't selected any of the PDF editing options ... so I guess I must have inadvertently changed some setting or other. Any idea what?

If I open it in Preview, it works as expected.
