I am trying to take an HTML document and covert it to PDF with workable links. I Tried the Print To PDF option and the links do not work. I tried Print to PDFXchange and the links don't work. I even opened up Adobe program; created PDF; and opened HTML file and that worked with some of the links but not all. Any idea on how I can get all links to work? It's basically a Table of Contents page with links that do not work in PDF. They work in HTML file but not in PDF.

Yes, but what kind of links are they IN the HTML? Not what they do, but how they are set up in the HTML coding. JavaScript? OnClick actions? A tags? What? Perhaps you use different types, and only some are supported.

They are set up as A Tags in the HTML coding.

I have the same problem... what's the answer? I have not received a call back about help. In 2019, an Adobe tech did a patch install and basically rolled it back to a previous version and it worked perfectly-- just like it did before an update. That computer died, so I no longer have the use of the version that worked. These are the 2 files he used, but I don't know how to use them with the current DC Pro. I NEED HELP!!!

Hello Tonid,

Sorry for the delayed response and inconvenience caused. Please try to create the PDF file from Acrobat's File menu>File>Create PDF>Choose HTML file>then use File>Save As Adobe PDF and see if this works.

Make sure that you have the latest version of Acrobat installed, check for any pending updates from help>check for updates, reboot the machine after updating Acrobat.

Is it specific to one HTML file or with all the HTML files? Have you tried with another HTML file? Is it a Mac or Windows machine and what is the version of OS installed?

What is the dot version of Acrobat installed? To identify, refer to Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

Is it is specific to one HTML file, Is it possible to share the file with us so that we can test it at our end? To share the file, please use Adobe Send feature, upload the file, share the link to files via private message only, How Do I Send Private Message

Let us know how it goes and share your findings.

Regards,

Anand Sri.

thanks for your response!
I did do what you said: create the PDF file from Acrobat's File menu>File>Create PDF>Choose HTML file>then use File>Save As Adobe PDF and the Table of Contents Link still do not work. Instead of going to the correct location, it goes to the first page of the document.

I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and I cannot run any updates on this. It's basically a Prospectus document and SAI. We are trying to get the links in the Table of Contents to work but can't seem to find a way to do so! Is there any other way? The HTML document is fro Internet Explorer. Do you think if we use Google Chrome or Firefox it would work differently?

Try converting the file in PDF using the latest version of Acrobat Pro Download Pro or Standard versions of Acrobat DC | Non-subscription and see if this brings any difference.
