Word (DOC) to PDF conversion - "bookmark" (same document) hyperlinks

Post by zarkogajic »

Hi Support,

If a DOC document (Word) is opened in Editor - it gets nicely converted to PDF.

When this document has Word style hyperlinks to other files - the links are nicely converted to URI type PDF links.

However, if a Word style hyperlink points to the same document, to a "bookmark" - those links are not converted to links in the resulting PDF.

By design, or?

Hi, zarkogajic

Could I ask you to send us sample documents (Word and PDF) on this matter, so that we can test with your files here, and see what can be done?

Kind regards,

Hi Daniel,

Thanks, I'm sending to support@ email...

Here's how it look in Word: first link goes to a different document, second one to a "bookmark" in the same document

And when opened via PDFX Editor, that "page 2" link (to bookmark) is not converted:

Hi, zarkogajic

I see that my colleague Dimitar replied to your email, I wanted to followup here for anyone else who is experiencing the same trouble.
The Editor itself does not currently convert internal links like bookmarks. In order to properly convert these you will need to make use of our "PDF-XChange Standard" Office toolbar addin, which allows conversion of these items as desired.

I hope this helps!

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the follow up - all clear.

It would be great, though, for this functionality (conversion of internal Doc links) to be also available directly "from" Editor.

Hi Zarko

I have raised a formal feature request around this, and while intended for internal use only, referring to RT#5578: Feature Request :: Editor :: Word (DOC) to PDF conversion - "bookmark" (same document) hyperlinks should facilitate any support staff member getting you a status update.

I hope that helps.
Best regards

Hi, zarkogajic

The ticket in question has not yet seen any action. Though this does not necessarily mean nothing has been done, It does mean that I cannot make any promises for implementation or timeline at the moment.

Hi Support,

I see this is now implemented in 9.1.355 version, nice! Thanks.

Once suggestion / request though: the generated GOTO links use "inherit" for X and Y (and zoom). Ideally, the generated links would set the (X and) Y coordinate to where the target Word "bookmark" actually is on the target page.
