Yes, I have tried it more than once, and we have had this disagreement
before. I even tested it again when the new version of primopdf came out. It
doesn't work!

I would love to have someone who has primopdf and not any other pdf creator
installed on their computer try the test to confirm what I am saying. Post a
URL in exactly the way you say you should write it so there will be no
confusion. I will even test it again. As you have the full version of
Acrobat installed, your machine is not representative of the primopdf only
installation.

In my test I am using www.primopdf.com version 2 and the Adobe Reader
version 6.0.05. I would also suggest to anyone willing to test this, in
addition to just pasting the text of the URL in a text box, to try inserting
the hyperlinks in the proper way and see if those survive the conversion. In
both cases, it fails for me.

And sure, post any information that you can find that confirms your
assertions. I would love to be wrong...but I don't believe I am.

Have you ever tried this? May I suggest that you open a .pdf file and try
it? If you would like, I will gladly send you one to prove my point. But
then again, you might not trust me. How about if we ask someone else to
create a simple .pdf file with nothing more than a web address in plain
text and convert it to a .pdf file with PrimoPDF? I'm telling you that the
cursor in Reader will recognize it. As soon as I can find the information
from an independent source (you never know whom I may have bribed), I'll
post it for you. How does that sound?

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.

And I will continue to follow you around and correct you as long as I feel
that you are posting misinformation. The OP may not read my reply to you,
and Don has assumed your assertions are correct, so it did require three
posts.

If I am wrong, I will gladly shout it from the roof tops. What about you?
You didn't even acknowledge me when I corrected you again about the
misinformation you have posted about combining a 4 page newsletter for
emailing, let alone admit that you were wrong. So why didn't you acknowledge
that you are wrong about that?

If you use the Publisher 2007 pdf add-in to insert the hyperlink
correctly in a Publisher document, those links will survive the
conversion to pdf. If you use primopdf and some of the other freebie pdf
tools, the hyperlinks will not survive. If you use the full version of
Acrobat and some other products such as PDF-Exchange that Don uses, the
hyperlinks will also survive. But contrary to what JoAnn continues to

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.

I am now using Primo v3 point something and Reader 7 and 8. Different

if we have anything older running. We tend to upgrade when possible, but not

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)

Your post said it would work with Adobe Reader 6+, and I have said it does
not work with Adobe Reader 6.0.05. Are you now saying that one has to have
version 7 or 8?

Please post the text version of the URL that works for you as requested, and
while you are at it, post the text for the email links that also work for
you. I will test both the email and the URL links as you provide them, as
can others.

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.)
