Link to File

[Giraffe]

I've a PDF made from an OO Calc spreadsheet. Is there any way of embedding a live link to the .ods file?
I can copy the path into the PDF of course, e.g.
D:\Documents\***\***\*** Order Nov 09.ods
and it would be very useful to be able to open the spreadsheet from that path in the way that I can open pages in Opera from hypertext links in the PDF.

Hi Giraffe,

The print-driver only will convert a live link in a document based on a full literal address http://www.whatever.com or mailto:whoever@whatever.com it cannot process embedded links.

You can open the converted PDF in the Viewer and using Tools->Link Tools->Rectangle Link Tool, create a hotspot over the text you want to embed the link to and add the URL as an action in the Rectangle Link Tool settings.

This has to be done manually though, link by link. Only our MSOffice Addins (Excel in this case) can convert embedded links during conversion.

OK Chris, thanks for that. I'll give it a go.
