(On a Mac, when one does NOT want clickable links when saving a web site as PDF, one should in fact use Firefox instead.)īy the way: getting a clickable table of contents is a very good reason to learn how to use styles and headers. For example, when saving to PDF using the print dialog in Pages, Safari or OmniWeb (the latter being non-Apple software), all links are in fact clickable. However, some other Mac programs do in fact somehow send such information to the Mac's print processor, through the print dialog.
Still, when using on a Mac, one should also explicitly use Export to PDF - using the Save to PDF option from a Mac's print dialog does not create clickable links. That's simply because the print processor does not "tell" the PDF printer about this.Īs a side note: on a Mac, PDF is very much integrated. Push the button labeled with the three dots 4. In the Print Name field, select the printer PrimoPDF and click OK 3. Here is an example from Microsoft Office Word 2003. But when linking some text to some URL, most PDF printers do not make that into a clickable link. Creating PDF files, follows the same process as printing a file. Of course, most PDF viewers will recognise some URLs and email addresses. Using the built-in Export to PDF option in has one VERY major advantage over anything that simulates a printer: it creates clickable table of contents, cross-references, indexes and explicit internet links.
