Greetings everyone! I created a book with generated documents, but I neglected to check the little activate hyperlinks setting. I've no idea why the default is not on, but apparently it is not. So . how can I turn the generation of hyperlinks on, after the fact? Thanks very much!

Greetings everyone! I created a book containing a large number of hyperlinks, as text. (E.g., http://destination.com/). These are not coming through in PDF as active links. I do need them to look like normal URLs, and also be active links in PDF. Would someone be willing to tell me how to do

How are you generating your PDF? Are you printing to a PostScript file and then distilling as per Robert Lauriston's recommended workaround for your missing Adobe PDF printer issue? If so, the key step he didn't mention is to make sure that the Generate Acrobat Data option in the Print Book

Intriguing suggestion, Robert. I would say that someone can write such a script. Perhaps someday, that someone will be I. :) I wonder what it would cost to ask someone, who knows how, to write either an API client or a script (of either type, I suppose). Best to all, Elchanan -Original

Thanks for this kind response, Tino. I did not have Acrobat/Distiller on my system, so I had to install something. I did try using Nitro PDF Pro 8, for which I have a full license, but it choked when I tried to print the whole book using its PDF printer driver. I suppose I could have
