Disable Hyperlinks

Post by MrBurny »

Hello,

We have many documents exported from a CAD program, and each page contains numerous hyperlinks. These links lead to other pages, or clicking on an element provides manufacturer information, etc.

This makes it very annoying to add annotations to these documents. We constantly click on these links accidentally.

We could permanently disable this in CAD, but for our customers the links need to be embedded.

Is there a way to easily disable and re-enable these links temporarily?

Thank you for your efforts.

Hi all,

A ticket for a Feature Request has been made in the past : #6269: FR: Adding the ability to turn off hyperlinks
Unfortunately, it seems to not yet have been implemented. @PDF-XChange Support : any news about this ?

A work-around for now is to put the hyperlinks on a layer and to hide that layer.

See: viewtopic.php?t=39061 for more info.
( A word of thanks to rakunavi )

Kind regards.
