PDF internal hyperlink

woshibug — Sun, 08 Aug 2021 13:09:54 GMT

I searched in community and find the following code to create the hyperlink in pdf that can link to a external url of any website.

OPTION NODATE NONUMBER;
OPTIONS PAPERSIZE=A4;
OPTIONS TOPMARGIN=0.5 in BOTTOMMARGIN=0.5 in LEFTMARGIN=0.5 in RIGHTMARGIN=0.5 in;
ODS NORESULTS;
ODS PDF FILE = "E:\Desktop\TEST.pdf" dpi=1800;

data _NULL_;
set SASHELP.CLASS(obs=1);
declare odsout obj();
obj.format_text( data: "Information:",
overrides: " just=left color=green font_weight=bold font_size=8pt ");
obj.href(data:
"Adresse", url: 'https://www.test.fr/', inline_attr:'color=blue');
Run;

ODS PDF CLOSE;

But what I want is adding some internal and not external hyperlink above for a pdf like TOC(table of content) in the first page of a present pdf which has already existed. My confusion is how to add a internal and local hyperlink for a preexisting pdf.

Here is an example :

ods pdf file='c:\temp\temp.pdf';

title link='#xxxxx' 'whatever it is';
proc report data=sashelp.class nowd;
compute age;
if age.sum=12 then call define(_col_,'url','#yyyyy');
endcomp;
run;


ods anchor='xxxxx';
title 'heart';
proc print data=sashelp.heart(obs=10);run;

ods anchor='yyyyy';
title 'cars';
proc print data=sashelp.cars(obs=10);run;

ods pdf close;

I create the hyperlink into RTF format document，then convert it into pdf and the hyperlink can work normal. but when
the data is very big and I cant get the combined RTF,so I transform lots of single rtf into single pdf,then use some app to combine pdf,then the original hyperlink can‘t work.

"then use some app to combine pdf,then the original hyperlink can‘t work."

That should be . sas doesn't have much control on PDF. especially for combined pdf .
