Links in Preview.app [make money]

Filed under: Personal | No Comments »

I’ll give the first person who lets me in on the secret of making internal and external (to webpages) links in .pdf files that work in Preview $15 (via PayPal). Right now they only work in Acrobat Reader, but I have seen links that work in Preview. The solutution must work in either InDesign or Acrobat Professional (InDesign much preferred).

Please leave the suggestions or questions in the comments field so everyone can see the time stamps, AND so others can have the solution later on. Thanks!

**Note: I am aware that this is normally not hard. I just can’t get it in this instance, so if you know of a common problem with doing it, that might be the solution.

Update: Solved the problem… It’s a bug in the Panther version of Preview. If you’re in the Select Tool and roll over a link, your cursor changes to the hand that signifies what you’re currently over is a link. Sounds cool right? Well, if you click the link it will go no where. You must go to the Tool menu and select the Text tool. Insane.
