Create a PDF with text from links

[Guest]

Is it possible in RoboHelp to create a PDF in which the text of links are with the topic rather than a link.

For example, on a webpage, the user would see:

Topic

Discussion

Link

Discussion

Link

In the PDF, the user would see:

Topic

Discussion

Text from link

Discussion

Text from link

Thanks,

One option would be that instead of having a link under Discussion, you create a dropdown with the content. That way in the OLH the user would click the hotspot and see the information then. In the PDF version you can set that up to be included.

Another would be to have have the link with a build tag applied so that it is not included in the PDF. The downside is you would have to repeat the information that is in the target of the link and tag that out of the OLH. Messy.
