Robohelp6 Broken Links in Generated PDF

I am running Robohelp 6. I have many internal hyperlinks in my system. When I generate a PDF file, my links are marked as links (blue and underlined) but seem broken - cannot be clicked. When generating a chm file the links work properly.

Thanks.

    Go into your PDF SSL, click PDF Settings and check that Add links to Adobe PDF is ticked. Note: I have the full version of Acrobat installed. I seem to remember there's a pdf converter bundled with Robohelp, but I've never used it and am unsure if the options are different. Anyway, it's worth checking.

    Thanks for replying.

    I have enabled exporting to PDF through the installation of Acrobat Elements. I do not think I have PDF SSL.

    Thanks

    Thanks again,

    I looked and the checkbox and it is checked. I do however have Word 2003. The hyperlinks are not just in the headers though. Do you recommend installing 2007? Or is there any other step I can try before that?

    Thanks!


    Robohelp 6 won't work with Word 2007, unfortunately. And I'm fairly certain it was only a problem with links in the header/footer anyway.

    Maybe the print doco SSL has become corrupted somehow. Try creating a new one - use New Layout, not Duplicate Layout as duplicating may just copy the problem.

    You could also try generating to a different directory. e.g C:\TestPDF.

    (Actually I just had a thought. Have the links only just broken in the PDF output? Or is this the first time you're trying to output to pdf and it has never worked?)
