Hyperlink created in Access does not function when printed to pdf
I have a database in Access 2007 in which I created a field that hyperlinks
to Google Maps for an office location. In Access database, the hyperlink works perfectly. When I print the report to Adobe PDF, the link cannot be accessed. I have a similar field that opens our e-mail program and generates an e-mail. THAT works, but the hyperlink does not. I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance. |

You could use a different pdf printer driver. For example win2pdf will take
any text that looks like a hyperlink and change it to an actual hyperlink in the pdf file. I assume the "out of the box" pdf capabilities do not work as well.

I've had some luck with the "Save as PDF or XPS" optional plug-in for Office
2007. Saving a report as a PDF that way seems to preserve hyperlink functionality, even though printing to AdobePDF does not. -- Marvin Long, Jr. "therube43" wrote: I have a database in Access 2007 in which I created a field that hyperlinks to Google Maps for an office location.
