anchor in pdf

Good morning!

I am using the “ods pdf Anchor” option in a pdf report as follows:

The hyperlink works fine for the first few titles until there comes a point where it stops linking the page correctly.

In the following example, we see that after running the program the anchor for page 5 (v_num) is IDX5.

However, the IDX 5 link does not take me to the corresponding page.

Could you tell me how to solve this problem?
Would it be possible to see the properties of these hyperlinks to know the page you are using?

Thank you,

Can you provide code for a simplified example (without sensitive/private data) that we can use to test?

From your description we (or at least I) cannot identify a cause for the reported issue.

I wonder if we are seeing one of the odd effects of using the * <text>; style of comment text with the macro language.

You might try, as an experiment, replacing the * characters in the macro Crea_ancla with a more neutral, in terms of macro language, text character like an underscore _ and see if that still fails in the same place.
