Title: How to export to PDF without hyperlinks?
Post by: Thomas Winkel on September 10, 2014, 07:47:06 PM
Hi,

I am using the ExportAsFixedFormat method for PDF export.
We have shapes with hyperlinks to local PDF documents that I do not want in my PDF exports.

Is there any way to prevent shape these hyperlinks from being exported?

Regards,
Thomas

Hyperlinks have an "Invisible" cell, if this is true then the hyperlink is not exported. A few lines of VBA can set all hyperlinks invisible, do your export, then set the visibility back to normal.

Thanks, Paul.
Not as easy as hoped, but it will work for me.

Regards,
Thomas

Another way - set behavior of hyperlink as "Non-printable"

How do you do that?

Right click->Format->Behavior->Miscellaneous
ShapeSheet -> Miscellaneous->NonPrinting

But surely that stops the whole shape from printing, not just the hyperlink.
