Hi to all,
I generated one Word Document which contains the Hyperlinks to open the particular pages of PDF.
(FYI: Hyperlinks are generated by RTF Tags).
When I converted that file (doc) to PDF by ‘PRINT’ options, I can’t get those hyperlinks. I believe this was happened due to ‘RTF Tags’. Since RTF tags are not worked in PDF.

Any one can help to resolve this.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Hi:
I noticed that you also posted this question in the Microsoft Office forum. This suggested method for setting hyperlinks was posted there:
http://support.sas.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=7725&tstart=0

In addition to that method, (which shows a URL= style override being used in a SAS TITLE statement), you can set a URL based on a variable's value, as shown in the program below.

var name age height;

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

Already I have tried this method. But it not meet the following(MY) situations,

1. More than one hyperlink in specified cell
2. Hyperlink should be present in the specified text.., not for whole cell

Help to resolve this.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi:
As Scott already replied to your previous posting....you can only have one hyperlink per cell. And the hyperlink attaches to the contents of the whole cell. If you have an Adobe product, can you put multiple hyperlinks in a single table cell??? And, even if it is possible with an Adobe product, you can't do everything with SAS that you can do with Adobe when you create a PDF file.
