Any solution for this?

    If hyperlinks in your exported PDF from Adobe XD aren't working, make sure you export as an Interactive PDF by going to File > Export > PDF (Interactive). Check if links work in Prototype mode. Try opening the PDF in different viewers, such as Adobe Acrobat. Update Adobe XD to the latest version. The current version is 57.1.12, and there might be some bugs. Check that hyperlinks are not applied on grouped or overlapping elements. If it does happen, reset XD preferences or re-create links. You may also try exporting to Adobe Illustrator and save the PDF from there. If not resolved, file a bug to Adobe Support, while using other software like Figma for exports that have hyperlinks enabled.
