Hyperlinks again - internal & external

serge · Post by **serge** » Tue Mar 09 2004

I have the following task : merge some number of html pages into one pdf document and keep hyperlinks in pdf for navigation inside the document, or start an external browser if link is an external url. Is it possible if I use hyperlinks
1) www (http://)
and
2) <a href="file.html"> Is there a way to convert this type of HTML hyperlinks into pdf hyperlinks/ bookmarks automatically ?

Hello,

If your hyperlinks start with http://, www. , mailto: , file:// they can be converted automatically by adding the Convert Hyperlinks option before printing your document to the PDF Printer.

Otherwise you have to add the hyperlinks yourself.

Hope this helps.

is it possible to do in programming code, i.e. replace everything starting with <a href=" with a hyperlink, or this should be done somehow manually?

Thanks.

Thanks Joan;
Tell me more regarding the following situation :
- I merge more than 40 html files. They all have cross hyperlinks. Does pdf converter convert all links to internal bookmark correctly ? Or all links will point to external files ?

A simply question :
Can pdf converter convert this link automatically :

<html>
<body>
<a href="#B1">Go to test</a>
<br><br><br>
<a name="B1">Test</a>
</body>
</html>

?

Thanks,
Serge.

Hello,

No, Internal hyperlinks are not converted automatically to hyperlinks in the pdf file.

I suggest that you send us your request to support@amyuni.com so we can check it closely and see if we can provide you with any help.

Thanks.
