PDF Hyperlinks not working
I have inserted some hyperlinks in an excel file that link to maps stored on
my computer in PDF format. Have had issues with Adobe but now have it reinstalled however now when I try to access the hyperlinks it comes up with a warning re being careful of some types of files & when you click ok another box reads "No programme is registered to open this file" & the hyperlink doesn't work. Any ideas how I can fix this as the maps are a pivotal part of my file however I don't want them open all the time??? Thanks |

PDF Hyperlinks not working
Hi,
Sounds like you are using 2007? If so, this is a security feature. You can define a given location as secure by choosing Office Button, Excel Options, Trust Center, Trust Center Settings, Trusted Locations. There may be other settings which will also help. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "caz4speights" wrote: I have inserted some hyperlinks in an excel file that link to maps stored on my computer in PDF format.

PDF Hyperlinks not working
Shane's comments are useful,
but as an aside, I regularly use hyperlinks in XL, for word files, pdfs and lots else. I find they are pretty reliable except when the administrator is fiddling with network or I have created a network problem at my end, and in these cases it won't even find a linked file in the same directory on the drive. And I can't recall having to really fight it out with the Trust Centre, I think that is bit of distraction. With regard to file types - reinstall Adobe somehow. Probably you have created a unique glitch on your machine, you may have bat on solo, but hang in there, as hyperlinks in XL have been a pleasure for me. cheers willy "caz4speights" wrote: Hi Shane, Yes I am using 2007 - what do you mean by "define a given location"?
