My PDF hyperlinks to other topics are not working. My settings are Project > Project Properties > Adobe PDF Export > PDF Layout: output style is Interactive PDF document, and "PDF has active hyperlinks" is checked.
I then go to File > Print User Manual. My printer defaults to Adobe PDF, and my print options have Print Manual and PDF Export checked. I view the pdf file with Adobe Acrobat 9, but my green underlined hyperlinks don't work.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any insight.

It seems I need to NOT use the typical print dialogue window, but rather use File > Make Help File and Run option. Then select the output format of Adobe PDF.

Hi Kat,
That is correct. The Print option is really just for what is says, printing a paper manual. If you want to create a PDF you need to "make a file".Kat Correa wrote:It seems I need to NOT use the typical print dialogue window, but rather use File > Make Help File and Run option.
