Links from excel Drawing Set Log dont transfer when I print to PDF
« on: September 14, 2017, 10:19:48 AM »

1. I create a new drawing set
2. Export Drawing log(excel with links to drawings)
3. Print Drawing log from excel to pdf

The problem I am having is that when I print to pdf from excel the links don't get transferred to the pdf.

I have checked my settings in the bluebeam excel add in and it correct
I have ran a test where I insert a link from excel and then print to pdf and it works fine
The links from the drawing set are relative

Any Ideas??

Update: not sure if this helps but Ive attached some files to get idea of what I'm talking about if I'm not being clear. Thanks

Here's a link that seems to address this issue in regard to Acrobat.  But I did a test and Revu encodes the links the same way with the "hyperlink" tag in the cell - which seems to be the culprit.  One user offers a workaround of printing to  a Web page.  I haven't tried that.

Good luck!

I see the issue and Ive tried the work arounds but non of them seem to work. I see the acrobat post is from 2011 you'd think a solution would of been found by now. Thanks Steve!
