Greetings.

I need to print an Excel document to a PDF with hyperlinks.

Creating hyperlinks in Excel is no problem.

If I print to a PDF (using Adobe PDF print driver), the hyperlink appears and works in the PDF. No problem.

But I need to change the display text of the link - instead of a URL I need to display a "user friendly" name.

Problem.

If I edit the link in Excel and change the display text, the link works in Excel, no problem.

But when I print to a PDF the link is lost. I get pretty blue underlined text, but the link information is not embedded in the PDF.

Problem!

I've experimented and done some research, but nothing so far.

Any ideas?

Help!

Thank you,

Greg

Hey Greg,
Which version of Excel do you have?
At least 2007 works with no problem.
Did you save it first as PDF and then print?

I'm using Excel 2007.

I tried saving it as a PDF but it didn't work.

Can you give me step-by-step instructions?

Thank you,

Greg
