Export PDF with Hyperlinks? Possible? Workarounds?
I have a drawing set where in the BOM there are hyperlinks to the parts to be purchased. Problem is when exporting as a PDF the hyperlinks are not active. If I export as a PNG it works but the problem there is when exporting as a PNG one has to go page by page then combine them into a PDF with all the pages and simply it is a pain. So…
- is there a way to mass export all the pages in a drawing? That way I am not clicking export forever on each sheet
- Is there a way to export as a PDF and have it recognize the text as a hyperlink?
- No I am not going to buy any Adobe products like their Acrobat to do this to the file I exported
I am open to any suggestions. I am on a Mac but do have a PC for other work. I would really like in the end to be able to just export the PDF with live hyperlinks but realize that adobe might have some licencing agreement with Onshape limiting this.
