Hello,
I am using the current version of PDF XChange Editor. I took an existing PDF with lots of weblinks within and made an excel export.
But the excel file is missing all the (very important) weblinks. Is there any chance add the the weblinks to the excelfile?
Thanks in advance for a hopefully quick answer.

Hello Stefan,
It seems like I am not allowed uploading excel files in this forum.
I used a common PDF with weblinks within. I converted it to excel (with PDF-Xchange) and all the links were gone.

Hello pschoen,
Thanks for the sample file! I can reproduce the same here on my end - so I will ask the people who work on this conversion tool if those links are supposed to be converted to Excel.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Thank you Stefan
It would be great, if the conversion would include the links.

Re: Export from PDF to excel - weblinks disappeared
Hello again pschoen,
Our devs just told me that Excel can not have links over text as you can in e.g. Word or PowerPoint. Excel only accepts links for whole cells. So for the time being we do not convert any links to Excel, but our devs told me that for this specific case they will see if they can do something (but are not making any promises).
Kind regards,
Stefan
