PowerPoint 365 to PDF not retaining the hyperlink when "Zoom" object is used

Post by PDF-person1 »

PDF-XChange doesn't retain the hyperlink when "Zoom Slide" (Insert tab->Zoom->Slide Zoom) object in PowerPoint is used. Microsoft PDF and Adobe PDF properly retains the hyperlink in the PDF. Is there a setting I'm missing? I'm a new user, so I'm not sure if this issue is new or not. Thanks!

Hello, PDF-person1

Thank you for the report, I have reproduced this issue locally (it appears it is not exclusive to office 365), and passed it along to the Dev team for resolution.
In the meantime, I did find a workaround. You can directly drag/drop the PPTX files into the Editor, the conversion handling there does process these items correctly.

Kind regards,
