    Hi @MARCO28388027kpeo ,

     

    Sorry to hear about the trouble. As suggested by @AkinGn this should work. Would you mind sharing the workflow that you're following? We'll also need the version of XD & OS, we'll try our best to assist you.

     

    Thanks!

    Thanks @Rishabh_Tiwari I share with you my documents PDF and XD, the links are in the email adress and the instagram icon, as you can see they don't open as they should in PDF, hope you can help me find out the problem, my XD version is XD (561.1.12).  To ad links in my XD document I'm selecting either the icons / image or text go to prototipe and in the action menu I select link so I paste the links adress, then go to export as PDF and nothing happens, could you please help me to find out what the problem is?

    Hi @MARCO28388027kpeo, as I can't see an XD file at your post's attachment section (there's only a PDF) I'd like to see if you attach. Prototype tab should be enough to add links to images/non-text items and you can also add hyperlinks to text in XD as you know, check these tutorials and make sure you're not skipping any steps:

    Hi @MARCO28388027kpeo, I already knew they should work and tested again, as I see it, the link in the test file (just a text link 🙂) works, you can check the PDF I've just exported from XD. If you'd like to share any version/part of your file, I also would like to export and test. Hope this helps!
