https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/Creating-PDF-with-links/m-p/3416#M1469 Hi:<BR /> In a PDF created by ODS I would like plot symbols and values in tables to link to external files or bookmarks in the same PDF.<BR /> Below is a test using a hard-coded link. If this feature works, I will modify the code so the link is based on the value.<BR /> The PROC PRINT displays correctly, but clicking on a value does not initiate the link.<BR /> The PROC GPLOT ignores the escape character.<BR /> Is there a way to do this in 9.1.3?<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> DATA anno;<BR /> SET SUBSET_for_pdf_test;<BR /> LENGTH linkval $ 60;<BR /> linkval = '0.99 ^S={URL="L:\users\bills\camnet_history.pdf"}';<BR /> xsys='2';ysys='2';<BR /> x=sample_start_date;y=nh4_ug_2_filters_;text=linkval;OUTPUT;<BR /> <BR /> RUN;<BR /> ODS escapechar="^";<BR /> <BR /> ODS PDF style=journal FILE="l:\users\bills\altkeytest.pdf" ;<BR /> ODS LISTING close;<BR /> PROC PRINT DATA=anno;<BR /> var linkval nh4_ug_2_filters_;<BR /> RUN;<BR /> PROC GPLOT DATA=subset_for_pdf_test;<BR /> PLOT nh4_ug_2_filters_ * sample_start_date<BR /> /<BR /> anno=anno<BR /> ;<BR /> <BR /> RUN;<BR /> QUIT;<BR /> <BR /> ODS PDF CLOSE;<BR /> ODS LISTING; Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:12:00 GMT Bill_in_Toronto 2007-06-13T15:12:00Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/Creating-PDF-with-links/m-p/3416#M1469 Hi:<BR /> In a PDF created by ODS I would like plot symbols and values in tables to link to external files or bookmarks in the same PDF.<BR /> Below is a test using a hard-coded link.

ODS HTML does have a method to describe an HREF attribute to simulate drill-down or linking.<BR /> Check out this Tech Support Note on the capability:<BR /> <A href="http://support.sas.com/faq/035/FAQ03592.html" target="_blank">http://support.sas.com/faq/035/FAQ03592.html</A><BR /> <BR /> If you created an HTML file and then distilled the HTML file to be a PDF file (with a 3rd party converter or an Adobe product), I do not know whether PDF would retain the hyperlinks or not. This is a question that is probably best answered by Tech Support.<BR /> <BR /> Good luck!<BR /> cynthia Thu, 14 Jun 2007 00:00:48 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/Creating-PDF-with-links/m-p/3417#M1470 Cynthia_sas 2007-06-14T00:00:48Z
