Topic Links Color Missing in PDF

Unread post by Olivier Beltrami »

Hi,

I have recently noted that part of the "Underline Topic Links and paint in color" PDF export setting seems to be ignored when the generated PDF is opened in Adobe Acrobat DC. Namely, the "color" is ignored. All links are black (or the color of the surrounding text) though the cursor responds to hovering over them, and clicking on these "invisible" links gives the expected result.

What is really odd is that this oddity occurs when opening the generated PDF in Adobe Acrobat DC, but the links look just fine when opened in Chrome or Edge.

Any idea what is the issue ?

Very best regards,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Since it's displaying correctly in other apps this is probably a setting somewhere in Acrobat, and it also definitely means that the PDF is being exported correctly. If it wasn't then the links would be uncolored everywhere. I only have Adobe Reader and links are fine there.

Hi Tim,
Thank you very much for your test under Acrobat Reader.
That will most likely be what most of my users use to open the PDF.
Very best regards,
Olivier
