InfoPath Dev

We have created infopath forms which we convert to PDF using Muhimbi PDF convertor for sharepoint. The forms contain URLs in a rich text editor control. After converting to PDF, these links do not work anymore.

 help!

 Thanks,

Hi Mayank,

We have looked into this further and have tried to generate hyperlinks in an InfoPath form using the following methods:

1. A textbox with the type set as ‘text’. When we enter http://www.muhimbi.com this generates a hyperlink in the converted PDF file. (or at least it opens a page when clicked)
2. A textbox with the type set as ‘URL’. When we enter http://www.muhimbi.com this generates a hyperlink in the converted PDF file. (or at least it opens a page when clicked)
3. Rich text box: typing in a URL and pressing enter generates a hyperlink that is clickable in the PDF
4. Rich text box: typing text, selecting it and making that into a hyperlink does NOT work
5. A hyperlink field: this works correctly in the PDF
