Hyperlinked PDF

Hi All, what happened to Hyperlinked PDF's? Can you still make them? Searched and got results from 2010 and older. This was a great feature. Nothing in the AC 20 help either.

Nothing has changed since this feature was introduced as far as I know. I just tested in AC 21 and it still works fine. The key is that your Publisher Set must be set to save as a single PDF file.

I've searched a bunch, and find it interesting that, as you noted, there is no official documentation about this feature of Publisher. Placed markers become PDF bookmarks, basically internal hyperlinks to other pages in the PDF document.

Thanks Karl, saving to a single file has been the only way I have ever done it. But no hyperlinks in the PDF. Must be an obscure setting somewhere. There's nothing in Publisher/documents/PDF options.

It must be (?) the choice of / or content of your various markers then (section, elev, detail)...
