Re: Infopath to PDF - Hyperlinks dont work

Hi Mayank,

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

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)
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)
Rich text box: typing in a URL and pressing enter generates a hyperlink that is clickable in the PDF
Rich text box: typing text, selecting it and making that into a hyperlink does NOT work
A hyperlink field: this works correctly in the PDF

For further details see http://blog.muhimbi.com/2010/08/dealing-with-hyperlinks-when-converting.html

Infopath to PDF - Hyperlinks dont work

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,
