    Hyperlinks in Reports printing to PDF

    Hi,

    I have a report in which I have some hyperlinks. The links work if I view the report in 'report view' but not in 'print preview' mode. My hope is that I can print the report to a pdf and have the links work in the pdf, but at this point they do not. Any ideas on how I might make this work?

    Thanks,


    Doug

    That would require modifying the PDF document to set up a hyperlink on the PDF document. Accomplishing that programmatically would be advanced code.

    I have code to merge PDFs. Never attempted installing a hyperlink.

    So, I had previously been trying to print to a pdf from the report via a pdf print driver installed on my computer. I just tried using the MsAccess tool built into the print preview ribbon (export to pdf) and the links in the pdf that was created were preserved and functional!

    Okay, I stand corrected. Access does have this as built-in feature. Good to know. Thanks for the follow up.
